A New Champion for "Leaning In": Billionaire Warren Buffet

Looks like we have another male Lean In advocate. And this time, it's billionaire investor Warren Buffet, who's asking men to "get onboard" with helping women succeed in the workplace.

Buffet recently wrote an essay for Fortune magazine explaining how supporting women's success in their careers is both the ethical thing to do and all-around better for business. (Something we already knew, of course, but it's nice to hear it from a high-powered guy like him.)

"Fellow males, get onboard," he wrote. "The closer that America comes to fully employing the talents of all its citizens, the greater its output of goods and services will be." True. That.

Buffet also spoke to the ladies, encouraging women to dream big—and to follow Sheryl Sandberg's advice by leaning in: "Too many women continue to impose limitations on themselves, talking themselves out of achieving their potential," he wrote.

We like the sound of a bigwig like Buffet championing equality in the workplace. Considering that Berkshire Hathaway, the huge company Buffet helms, has been called out for being one the least diverse in the country, we hope he's going to start putting his money (literally) where his mouth is.
